Disturbing reports have surfaced about Bryan Kohberger’s phone searches, revealing unsettling interests ahead of his trial for the Idaho murders.
The criminology Ph.D. student, charged with killing four University of Idaho students, reportedly searched for images of bikini-clad female students, explicit content, and phrases related to the crimes. Prosecutors have already disclosed chilling evidence they plan to present in court.
Ahead of Kohberger’s high-profile trial this August, new details from his digital footprint have emerged. The accused murderer reportedly searched for photos of female students from Washington State University and the University of Idaho, some of which were linked to victims Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, and Madison Mogen. These three women, along with Ethan Chapin, who were staying at the house, were murdered in a brutal stabbing attack on November 13, 2022.
Kohberger’s bizarre searches also included terms like “drugged” and “sleeping,” as well as disturbing phrases like “Sociopathic traits in college students” and “University of Idaho murders.” Strangely, he even looked up Britney Spears’ song “Criminal.”
Kohberger was arrested on December 30, 2022, and faces charges of four murders and one burglary. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
As the trial approaches, prosecutors have revealed key evidence, including Kohberger’s purchase of a black balaclava, surveillance footage linking him to the scene, and his criminal justice academic background. His driver’s license is also part of the evidence to confirm his involvement. Additionally, the judge ruled that Kohberger’s family can attend the trial to ensure fairness and transparency, despite earlier concerns from the prosecution.
